Vancouver City Councilor Jack Burkman faces three opponents — Micheline Doan, Brian Joseph Smith and Otto Guardado — in a bid for a third term.
The top two finishers in the Aug. 6 primary will advance to the Nov. 5 general election.
Burkman said he wants to continue to work on his vision of Vancouver as a modern, safe, metropolitan city with a vibrant economy.
“We have to keep the families and businesses feeling safe and secure,” Burkman said.
Other priorities include encouraging a diverse economy, continuing to stabilize city finances and ensuring solid infrastructure, all of which were also named as priorities by his challengers.
